I wouldn't say I'm into baseball; however I am very much into St Louis Cardinals baseball.
RAMbeau and I watch all 162 games on tv every year. If the Cardinals don't make it to the playoffs, our baseball-watching is done.
We have zero interest in the MLB if the Cards aren't playing and don't watch the playoffs or the World Series if the Cardinals aren't in it.
I have to say that it helps us a lot in getting through football's off-season. The only problem is that there are sometimes tv-watching conflicts between baseball and football once the NFL season starts. When that happens, we just do a lot of channel flipping back and forth depending on who's playing and how the game is going.
